The ex-England international is involved in an ambitious plan to change the face of the game and its administrators
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville is seeking a comprehensive overhaul of the way English football is run, laying out plans for a Manifesto for Change that looks to introduce more independent regulation in the game.
Neville is part of a group that includes former FA chairman David Bernstein, ex-FA executive director David Davies and Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham which is unhappy with the way football is structured and administered.
The woes of lower league clubs and huge financial power of the Premier League is one of the biggest concerns, with Bury going out of business and Wigan entering administration.
